Orlando have lost their last 4 after some okay recent form, now 7-3 over 10. The Nets took this in Brooklyn a few days back, we’ll take the line for the Nets, who’ve won their last 3.
Cut that stupid hair Elfrid.

Picks –
The Bucks have taken the last 4 in this matchup, and we like them here against an Indiana team that’s lost 4 of their last 5 (albeit against quality teams). Bucks here at the line, to upset the Pacers in need of a W.

| New York | 104.5 | 108.0 | -3.5 |
Picks –
This one is certainly one to avoid. Washington has taken 3 of the 4 matchups in this series, and we’ll go with them. Talent wins out against a mess of a team.
Best Bet: Nope.
Feeling Lucky: Washington -6.5 @1.91 (-110)

| Boston | 107.6 | 105.2 | +2.4 |
| Atlanta | 102.7 | 104.0 | -1.3 |
Picks –
Tricky one, with the Hawks at home with 3 day’s rest, however an awful 2-8 over their last 10. The Celtics were smashed 114-91 at home against the Champs last night, and are 3-7 over 10.
The -1.5 line for the Celtics is just too tempting, but it should be close. Take a 1-10 margin if the bookies allow.
Best Bet: Boston -1.5 @1.91 (-110)
Feeling Lucky: Nope.

Picks –
Portland have lost their last two, following a streak of 6 wins. Timberwolves 3-7 over 10. Can’t look past Portland at home with a day’s break.

Feeling Lucky: Portland -6.5 @1.91 (-110)
